This French-influenced editorial was inspired by the romantic, couture bride – one who still swoons over dreamy painterly pastels, yet is enticed by luxurious details and bespoke pieces. Working with three brand new Marchesa Couture gowns fresh off the runway, we pulled concepts from both the luxury wedding market and current fashion trends to keep our shoot feeling current and inspirational. A trio of unique accompanying bouquets by Ava Flora brought our vision to life in the heart of the city that never sleeps, imitating the beautiful city of light. Flatlays created by stylist Elizabeth were the breather images between portraits and moody movement images, beautifully displaying the brand new collection of Bella Belle Shoes, macarons in gorgeous tones, and stunning jewelry from BHLDN. Our fresh-faced model embraced each look with a coordinating aesthetic – from the tousled, playful girl wearing blooms and eating macarons, to the sleek traditional bride in silk and lace, to the dreamy tulle gown in the most lovely shade of blush. The surrounding landscapes and architecture of French inspired NYC enhanced the beauty of each gown and helped complete our editorial story.
